The pin assignments in the male DB-9 console port follow the EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) RS-232 standard. To
make a serial connection between your management system and the console port on the HiveAP, you can use a null
modem serial cable, use another serial cable that complies with the RS-232 standard, or refer to the pin-to-signal
mapping shown in
Figure 3
to make your own serial cable. Connect one end of the cable to the console port on the
HiveAP and the other end to the serial (or COM) port on your management system. The management system must
have a VT100 terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve
Hyperterminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems).

Status LEDs
The four status LEDs on the top of the HiveAP 20 indicate various states of activity through their color (dark, green,
amber) and illumination patterns (steady glow or blinking). The meanings of the various color + illumination
patterns for each LED are explained below.
Power
•
Dark: No power
•
Steady green: Powered on and the firmware is running normally
•
Steady amber: Firmware is booting up or is being updated
•
Blinking amber: Alarm indicating firmware failure
LAN
•
Dark: Ethernet link is down or disabled
•
Steady green: Ethernet link is up but inactive
•
Blinking green: Ethernet link is up and active
Access
•
Dark: Wireless link is disabled
•
Steady green: Wireless link is up but inactive
•
Blinking green: Wireless link is up and active
Mesh
•
Dark: Wireless link is disabled
•
Steady green: Wireless link is up but inactive
•
Blinking green (fast): Wireless link is up and the HiveAP is searching for other hive members
•
Blinking green (slowly): Wireless link is up and active

Male DB-9 Console Port
(View of the console
port on the HiveAP)
The above pin assignments show a DTE (data terminal equipment)
configuration for a DB-9 connector complying with the RS-232 standard.
Because this is a console port, only pins
2
,
3
, and
5
need be used.
